Description Darrell Esau 2004-01-28 17:39:39 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:          Linux

1) Go to the control center module "Country/Region & Language" (under "Regional & Accessibility").
2) Click on the "Time & Dates" tab.
3) In either the "Short date format" or the "Date format", change the year from "YYYY" to "YY" (as described in the Help Center for this module for "short/two digit year". 
4) Notice that this still displays the date using 4 digits.
